Mods, could you please sticky this thread for a while? I think we need to have some basic gardening and livestock information available where people can find it quickly and print it off.
Summerthyme and others who have at least a few years experience at gardening, livestock raising, and various...

Hi everyone! Based on many requests, I've created a new place just for YOU! Those of you interested in homemaking and homesteading issues, drop on in and pull up a chair on the sunporch!
We'll try this room out, and if it's popular, we'll make it a permanent part of the forum. So it's up to YOU!...

OK I see a couple of other threads are already here; we may want to do one specifically for knitting and another for weaving but lets start with one and see how it goes.
Feel free to ask questions, post patterns and links to patterns/blogs/resources etc - we may also want to start a thread that...

I just saw an ad for a home freeze-dryer, and was wondering if any of you think those are worth-while purposes? I've used a regular food dryer, and plan to either purchase or build another one. We have a small chest freezer; after we move I plan to get another small one (all that will fit in the...

I've discovered I really like working with fleeces and ending up with yarn, lol. I started out just buying fiber ready to spin, from my daughter Mandie's friend. At $16 to $18. bucks per 4 oz braid that soon got expensive! So now were getting raw fleeces and skirting, washing, carding, dyeing and...

They don't look like "fancy" chickens I used to see at the fair.
Don't chickens start slowing down their egg laying at about 3yrs old?

I'm new to soap making.
We made a double batch using 12 oz. Canned Evaporated Goats Milk, 100 oz. Olive Oil, 20.6 oz Water & 12.82 oz. Food Grade Lye, Lavender Essential Oil and absolutely love it !
When I mentioned it to a friend they gave me some fresh Goats milk which I poured into ice...

Hi all
Dear wife has seen two snakes in the last week and screams blue murder so by the time i get there with a shovel,to relocate of course, them they are gone.
Breeding chicks everywhere and the chook food brings the rodents which then bring the serpents.
So can anybody tell me any types of...

Well, I've been actively "connected" to my local outdoor environment for a lot of years now. I stretch intellectually to understand the research that is shared, knowing my knowledge base of basic science is still rudimentary. So I operate from observation, experience, memory, and intuition. I have...

Every summer, I mean to start another indigo vat, but I never get around to it, and it is always winter when I'm thinking of fiber.
I don't need a big vat. My old one was a 1/2 gallon canning jar with an airlock. Crock pots don't get low temp enough. Yogurt temps are about what is needed. ...

Fire Suppression - What Plans do You have in place in the Event of a Fire?
Starting this thread based upon a comment that was made in my bugout thread. Also if you have some ideas you'd like to share about your fire fighting set up that would be great! Fires can range anywhere from an...

I recently discovered that one of my chicks from last spring is blind. Don't know when that happened but now she is enclosed in a pen, safe and fed. I guess my question is how do you manage handicapped birds? Do you cull them (not my first choice)? She isn't even a year old. Shall I just leave her...
